These "Will Come From South Carolina,
No Orders Having Yet Been Is- m
sued Affecting North Caro
lina and Florida.
By BRIAN BELL.
Columbia, S. C Sept. 27. Two North'
Carolina counties sent nearly one hun
dred men of the National Army to
Camp Jackson today, 60 coming from
Duplin, and 30 from Polk. The total
movement of North Carolinians, in the
second increment, has reached 4,457.
Many North Carolinians were included
in the list of reserve officers reporting
today after a course in trench warfare
at Cambridge, Mass.
Announcement was made at the mus
tering offices tonight that 2,500 negroes
of South Carolina would arrive at
Camp Jackson from October 5 to Octo
ber 7. No orders have been received di
recting a movement of negroes from
North Carolina and Florida and the
officers have no information as to the
disposition of negroes from these two
states, although it is expected tha cer
tainly the Florida negroes will be sent
here and perhaps North Carolina, too.
- Orders received today to erect a
number of additional buildings increas
ing the size of the cantonment by a
brigade and a half excited interest.
The significance of this is not known.
Fivemembers of ambulance company
No. 31 of North Carolina, calling them
selves the "Tar Heel Hawiians," have
been booked as an added attraction at
, the Keith vaudeville theatre here, for
the first three days of next week. The
noney paid for the performances will
go to swell the company fund. The
- musicians are Sergeants Leslie and
Bolejack and Privates MacNair, Brook
shirt, and Simonds. Lieutenant Troy
is manager of the outfit.
STRIKE AT NAVY YARD
T NORFOLK HAS ENDED
Practically - All of the 4,100 Men Re
turn to Work Upon Assurances of
Fair "Wage Settlement.
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 27. Today's final
roll call at the navy yard showed that
practically all of the 4,100 men involv
ed in the strike' participated in by
about twenty crafts, had returned to
work and that industrial activities had
been resumed in every department. No
further trouble is anticipated. .
Union leaders, in explanation of the
order to the men to return to work,
said it had been issued "upon assur
ances from Secretary Daniels and As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt that their
grievances relative to the present
wage scale would be considered at a
conference . to be held in "Washington
next Tuesday and the further assur
ance had been given the men that they
would be justly treated. Internation
al officers of the various unions join
ed Navy Department officials in urg
ing the men as a patriotic duty to
return to work, thus allowing the in
dustrial department of the yard to re
sume operations.
All the' men have been promptly re
instated as they have presented them
selves for duty. Navy rules governing
absentees will not be enforced until
af cer tomorrow. Chief Constructor
Watt is confident the entire industri
al section of the yard will be in nor
mal operation by noon tomorrow.
ANALYSIS OF KINSTON WATER
SHOWS IT TO BE "PERFECT"
Kinston, Sept. 27. The chamber of
commerce's claim that this city has
the purest as well as most palatable
water supply in East Carolina is borne
out by the announcement today by
John E: Weyher, superintendent of
water and lighting, of a report from
the state laboratory of hygiene at
Raleigh which is considered "a per
fect showing." In a sample from a
tap just tested at the laboratory no
trace of sediment, color, turbidity or
odor was discovered. Harmful bac
teria were totally lacking. The po
tableness of the supply is supposed to
be due to the fact that the water
comes from the same source Ss that
which supplies the springs at Seven
Springs.

and numbered Mr. LaFollette among

-That's right!"
The speaker advocated the prohibi
tion during the war of papers printed
in the language of Germany and her
allies, saying thatt in this respect Ger
many was setting an excellent exam
ple by prohibiting newspapers in the
language of any of her enemies. He
included in his category of "Huns
within our gates" "Rich men who or
ganize peace at any price societies,"
W. W. agitators who oppose all
government" and "rich men who outfit
peace ships to bring about a peace to
the advantage of the most brutal
monarchy in history."

DUPLIN
W. AND Li. DINING HALL
ON THE CO-OPERATIVE IiAN
One of the Innovation Brougrht About
by the. War.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
- Lexington, Va., Sept. 27. A Univer
sity Dining Hall, run on a co-operative
plan, is one of the innovations that the
students meet on the Washington and
Lee campus this fall. It is part of
President Henry Louis Smith's plan to
promote economy and enable the stu
dent to. reduce his living expenses to a
minimum. The plan is well worked
out and while it has been introduced as
a "war measure" the indications are
that it wITl become a permanent thing.
Under the arrangement the student
pays in advance the estimated cost of
board per week or per month, together
with a small sum to meet overhead
expenses. A careful record is kept of
all expenditures for foodstuffs. These
expenditures are summed up and ap
portioned at stated times, and the mem
bers of the club then receive their share
of the surplus or contribute to make
up the deficit. The object is to keep
the cost of living down to a pre-war
basis, and it oloks now as if this object
is going to be attained.
The organization consists of a ma
tron, two student agents and collec
tors and a number of student waiters.
It is too early, of coarse, to speak of
the success of the plan, but so far it
has given general satisfaction and the
question is already being asked: If a
co-operative dining hall is a good thing
under war conditions why may it not
also be a good thing under other con
ditions? GREAT MASS MEETING HELD
LAST NIGHT IN PHILADELPHIA
People Protest Against "Intolerable"
Political Conditions.
Philadelphia. Sept. 27. Resolutions
calling upon all citizens to unite in
"the redemption of the city" and de
manding the impeachment or resigna
tion of any public officials shown by
the pending investigation of the polit
ical feud which resulted in the killing
of a policeman by alleged New York
gunmen to have been neglectful of their
duty, were adopted at a mass meeting
at the Academy of Music here tonight.
The meeting was called to .protest
against "the intolerable conditions in
our: political life, as evidenced by the
Fifth Ward murder." Forty thousand
tickets had been issued to the public
and so great was e attendance that
overflow meetings were held.
After denouncing the Fifth Ward
outbreak as an "orgy of intimidation
and brutality," the resolutions demand
ed that the police be "taken out of
politics absolutely and that the assess
ment or solicitation of contributions
from policemen and other public em
ployes shall cease."
MILLION CHINESE HOMELESS.
Flood Threatens' to Destroy the City
of Tien-Tsin.
Peking, Tuesday, Sept. 25 (delayed)
The city of Tien-Tsin is threatened
with destruction by flood. The Chinese
city and portions of all the foreign
concessions are under water, which is
rising rapidly and which covers the
great plain to the southeast of Peking.
It is estimated that 1.000,000 Chinese
are homeless. The railway embank
ment between Tien-Tsin and Nanking
has been cut to permit the escape of
the water.
The Hoang-Ho overflow has spread
to the northward and has broken the
Grand Canal at many places.
The mud walls protecting Tien-Tsin
are being strengthened under foreign
supervision, but all the streams in Chi
Li province are feeding the folod seek
ing the sea, making the situation des
perate. HOUSE ASKED TO GATHER
DATA FOR PEACE CONFERENCE
New York. Sept. 27. Col. E. M.
House, who has represented President
Wilson unofficially on several missions,
admitte dtonight that he had been re
quested by the President to aid in col
lecting data to be presented at the
peace conference to be held at the
close of the war.
"The announcement that the Presi
dent has asked me to aid in the work
carries ith it no immediate signifi
cance," said Col. House. "For n.wo
than two years all of the European
belligerents have been gathering data
to be laid on tue table at the peace
conference. The United States is be
lated in taking up its activities along
this line."
Halg's Report Brief.
London, Sept. 27. The report from
Field Marshal Haig tonight" refers only
briefly to the operations today in Flan

powerful hostile counter-attacks, it
was said, were repulsed with heavy
losses and" 1,614 Germans were taken
prisoner.
WAR TAX MEASURE IS

empting only much cheaper theatres.
The exact exemptions have not been
disclosed.
Revenues from automobiles, patent
medicines, perfumes and cosmetics ana
other manufactures also would be in
creased by the conferees' agreement.
The 1-cent stamp tax on bank checks,
eliminated in the Senate and estimated
to raise 110,000,000, is reported to have
been restored to the bill.
Among important House provisions
abandoned were the retroactive taxes
on 1916 incomes for a general 10 per
cent tariff levy, estimated to raise
$200,000,000, and consumption taxes on
gas, electric and local telephone ser
vice estimated to. bring In $30,0uo.000.
Another important action understood
, to have been taken was restoration of
the special tax of 16 per cent on mu
nitions manufacturers, estimated to
raise $29,000,000. The Senate provision
for its repeal was stricken out.
Official announcement of the princi
pal feature of the conferees' wor'f
probably will be made tomorrow by
Senator Simmons and Representative
Kitchin.

"Baer was elected by men who re

spotlight on them anu know where
they are. If this new move is to re
pudiate the Republican and Demo
cratic parties and desert the country in
time of war, it deserves to be looked
into.

" 'I cannot send such a message, Mr.
President; I do not, think you realize
what it means,' the ambassador replied.
" 'You think it means war?' I asked.
" 'I do not want to say what I think,"
was the reply.
" 'If it means war, you have chosen j
the one spot where you can not fight

"When he retired I sent word to
Dewey to be ready to sail on an hour's
notice. About a week later the am
bassador called on me and admitted
that he had not dared send the mes

Dewey to sail in 48 hours. He told me
it would be an awful thing for this
country.
" 'Yes, but it will be more awful for
your country,' I replied.
"Inside of 36 hours he came back
smiling and said he had received in
structions from the German govern
ment that they would arbitrate."
DESTROYS WEEDS.
Method of Killing Them Reduces Labor
of Curing Sugar Cane.
The new weed destroying method de
veloped by Charles F. Eckert in the
sugar cane fields of the Island of
Hawaii is stated in a commerce report
to have reduced the labor of maturing
the cane more t han one-half-, while the
crop has been increased by an average
of ten tons per acre. Shortly after the
harvest the cane stubble is freed from
trash and ferilized in the center of,
the rows, and is then covered with
strips of tar and asphalt felt. The paper
is held in place along the rows by
stones with the trash heaped over the
edges of the strips. The young shoots
of cane are spearlike and rigid, and
are thus able to penerta.e the paper,
while the weeds, which can not get
through are soon smothered and dried
up by the heat concentrated, beneath
the covering. The shoots are aided
somewhat by laborers, who five or six
weeks after the paper has been ap
pi! :d, pass along the rows, cutting slits
where the pressure has raised tentlike
elevations. The shoots are much
blanched as they emerge, but quickly
turn green and take on a vigorous
growth. The best of many papers
tried is black sheathing felt weighing
not more than nine pounds per 100
square foot. Not only are the weeds I
destroyed, but the plants profit by the
mulching action, wi'th the great amount
of heat absorbed and imparted to the
soil.
WHITE UNIFORMS FOR TROOPS.
Worn by Alpine Soldiers to Reduce
Their Visibility.
(National Geographic Magazine.)
To reduce their visibility, the Ital
ians don white suits over their uni
forms! when they advance over the
glaciers. By this protective coloration
a comparatively small party can creep
forward over the snow fields unde
tected by observers and take strong
enemy positions by surprise attacks.
Nature has outdone the ingenuity of
man in making some of the mountains
on the Italian front almost impregna
ble fortresses, yet no obstacle seems
too great for the hardy Italian infan
trymen to overcome. Before the war
Italy's only mountain troops consisted
of a comparatively email but famous
corps called the Alpini, composed of
trained mountaineers; today the nation
has a great army of experts, trained
